Every year I get the jitters when faced with the “How do you cook a turkey?” syndrome. My husband, Jim, begins the carving responsibility with “How to I do this?” We are really a pair. And yet, we take on Thanksgiving Day cooking with gusto. I guess with an expectation that it will be easier than in past years.
So this year, I decided ahead of time to stop the nonsense and apprehension that goes with getting a Thanksgiving turkey on the table. After all, shouldn’t it be a fun time to be in the kitchen cooking all the goodies that everybody is going to appreciate and love eating while enjoying the anticipation of a big bird and dressing about to pop out of the oven?
Well, I decided that the anxiety would be no more and I got to thinking. There should be a book that is handed down from one generation to the next with pictures and Easter Greeting Card telling all about how to present a turkey to the Thanksgiving table—from preparation to carving. The whole Thanksgiving Day Feast should be a production that rings through every heart and soul in the family.
Thanksgiving takes us right to our roots—Pilgrims, American Indians, survival getting to the new world and survival in the new world and the current American pass-time, football. What a great day for a party! It’s simply the best for celebrating gratitude and gratitude alone. No gifts accept the ones that come in the form of family, friends and a feast of traditional foods along with a full day of football and board games.
Getting ready for it is even fun and that means time to order Thanksgiving Day Invitations. I’m looking forward to this year because I’ve just found out how to create them online with sites such as ModernGreetings.com. The online sites are so complete with customizable templates for easy use. Finally, I can make my invitations just like I want them and with all my own original Thanksgiving Day ideas. I let the kids help me out and they love getting into the preparation celebration, too. Of course, they work on these websites with more ease than I can do and even show me a thing or two.
